The advantages of the composition called Bitumen. or Asphalte, though hitherto little known in this country, have for some years past been generally recognised on the Continent, and more espe cially in France, where the Bitumen has been most and longest tried, and where it has been found to answer every purpose of stone, granite, and slate, with many superiorities. For roads, footways, terraces, cellars, and alleys, it has been proved to furnish a surface equally durable, far less expensive, and infinitely more elegant, while for roofs and all purposes of building it possesses even greater merits. Many compositions of a bituminous nature have been tried by various individuals, and of various substances. But none have been found to resist the extremes of heat and cold, except those in which the mineral tar produced from the Mines of Bastenne and Gaujac have formed prominent ingredients. Every descriptiuu Bitumen manufactured with vegeta bl e tar, o f whatever kind,in cluding various modifications of the tar deposited in Gas Works, have proved inefficient ; and no substance hitherto discovered pos sesses the consistency and adhesive properties necessary to bind, in a solid and inseparable mass, the component parts of the Bitumen, except the mineral tar alluded to. The Proprietors of the Seyssel Mines have always employed the mineral tar of Bastenne and Gaujac as an indispensable adjunct to the produce of their Mines, and the experience of ten years proves that no Bitumen can be made to answer the purposes required, witlieut a large admixture of that substance. The Proprietors of the Mines of Bastenne and Gaujac, after long experience of the qualities of their mineral tar, have recently formed themselves into a Company in Paris, under the title of " La Societe des Mines d'Asphalte de Bastenne," (generally kno wn as t h e Debray Company,) for the purpose of vending this mineral, and manufacturing on a large scale, the Bitumen made by them on their system, which has been tied since the year 1830, and more particularly on the Pont Neuf, one of the most frequented thoroughfares of Paris, and also the fortifica tions at Bayonne, for which a contract has recently been made by the French Government in the sum of 15,0001., and has been found superior to any other ; the Shares of the above bear a large Pre mium in Paris. This Company has purchased the exclusive right of importing tkis mineral Tar into this country, and having the sole sale of it in all other countries except France and the United States of America, under terms especially advantageous even in priority over the sup ply in France itself, the proprietors having bound themselves not to sell any tar to any other person until this Company shall have re ceived to the amount of 50,000/. worth per annum. The Direc tors have ordered an immediate supply to be sont over, and will be prepared to receive applications for agencies throughout England, Scotland, and Ireland, while they are also preparing for its intro duction into the different states and cities of the Continent.

LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1838. The GrAdsmiths' Company gave a splendid ban quet ort Saturday to a splendid party of Tories. The Company, their ro oms , t h e i r h a ll , and their massive show of plate, are splendid like their banquet, and like their guests ; though the speech of Mr. War den TWINING offers no very convincing illustration of the public good done by the Company, which is fitly rewarded by so much splendour. The greater part of their wealth is derived we believe from estates which were given to them in Ireland, on condition that they should promote Protestantism and English civilization in that backward and benighted land. It would have bean more honourable then to the Bawdy Company, and more satisfactory to the public, if they had exhi bited thousands of happy and enlightened tenants, civilised by their means, and occupying their property in Ireland, instead of a massive sideboard of gold, as an evidence that they had not preferred their private ad vantage to their public duty. Such splendour, de rived from the people, while the duty towards them is grossly neglected, is no unapt type of Toryism, and it was fitting that all the guests at this show of gold, wrung from a starving population, should he Tories. The great leader of the party, however, seems to be at variance ..with his hosts. Sir RO. BERT PEEL, in returning thanks, alluded to the Bench being represented —not by Lord Chief Justice DENMAN, but by Sir NICHOLAS TINDAL—and he was proud to see the bar represented by Sir EDWARD SUGDEN. Mr. Prime Warden COPELAND, however, having another name down in hin list of toasts, as the representative of the Bar, and could not, or did not, take the expectant Prime Minister's hint. He gave the health, not of Sir E. SUGDEN, but of Sir CHARLES WETHERELL and the Bar, plainly informing Sir ROBERT PEEL, that the Goldsmiths' Company pre ferred the Attorney-General, who deserted him when he deserted the principles of bigotry, to the lawyer who kept company with the deserter. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL, we all recollect, was Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Attorney-General in 1829, and honestly threw up his place, because he would not draw the Bill to emancipate the Catholics. The Goldsmiths' Company, by preferring his name to that of Sir E. SUGDEN, after Sir ROBERT PEEL'S hint, plainly told the formerly apostate Baronet, that he must, if he have not already, apostatise once more, to merit their confidence and support. Sir ROBERT must be nothing—or he must again be the foremost leader of the bigots whom he overthrew in 1829. The Times is quite in love with the Yeomanry as a Constitutional force. It likes to arm neighbour against neighbour. To sow the seeds of discord, and to warm them into vigorous and branching life, is its daily occupation. We cannot go along with the Times in praising the Yeomanry, which is composed of one class, and officered by the partizans of one faction, as a proper instrument for preserving peace. If, indeed, the Yeomanry were a really popular body, selected indiscriminately by ballot, or otherwise, from all classes, who chose their own officers, like the old militia here, or the militia in the United States, we should admit that the Yeomanry was a constitutional force, and proper to preserve peace and order in the country. But the Yeomanry consists exclusively of farmers, and their officers are landlords. Now the riots which have of late taken place, or which may be expected, are riots of the belly. The hungry and half-starved people sometimes, though very rarely, grow outrageous. They do not like, as the Times daily informs us, the new Bastiles, and the Somerset House despots. They do not like to be starved by the Corn Laws. Our Contemporary is one of those who have deliberately excited them against the Poor-law, and now he praises the practise of arming that class exclusively who have an interest in maintaining the starving Corn law, and what it calls the Bastiles for imprisoning the suffering poor. We hope the Ministry will in clue time carry out their principle, and abolish all the Yeo manry, for at present there is no apprehension of riot, • 41 44 except from want of food ; and to arm the Yeomanry against the starving people, is neither more nor less than a plan co enforce the scoundrel Corn-law, by the swords of those for whose exclusive advantage it was passed. The Yeomanry or the Corn-laws ought at once to be put down ; and, in its better days, the Times would have daily made the world ring with that theme. Dr. CHALMERS, in the course of his last lecture, I dwelt at considerable length on the difficulties which the Dissenters find in maintaining their own chapels. A truly Christian spirit would rejoice that so much has been done to reclaim the moral wastes for which the law has made no provision. Dr. CHALMERS will not assert, we are sure, that either the Secession or the Relief ministers, who differ on the single point of pa tronage from the Established Church of Scotland, and who are educated like the ministers of that Church, are invested with one atom less power of saving souls, or are less instrumental in enforcing morality than their endowed rivals. Instead, however, of exulting that these bodies had afforded such powerful aid to the Established Church, giving religious instruc tion to perhaps a third of the people of Scotland, Dr. CHALMERS sneered at their indebted chapels, at their poorly-paid ministers, at their subscriptions, at their soliciting support ; and he drew from that an inference which was loudly cheered by the rich Tory members of the endowed Church present, that if a free trade in religion were allowed, there would be only a wretched support for the priesthood, and a great deficiency of religious instruction. This line of argurneut was equally unjust and ungenerous, and wholly unworthy of a Christian minister. Dr. CHALMERS ought to have tecollcctcd that the Dissenters, many of whom have had their goods spoiled, in order to pay " Ministers' money" in one country and Church-rates in another, are compelled to support the endowed Church as well their own chapel ; and he ought to have doubly praised their Christian zeal, which, after being taxed by the regular clergy, could still find something for their own altars. His inference from the inability of Dissenters to provide splendidly for their religious service in the face of an establishment is unwarranted. To the Establishment it is rather fashionable to belong. Whether it be to share its pecuniary advantages or not, the fact is, that almost all the gentry of both countries are members of the endowed Church ; and no sooner does a Dissenter become wealthy than his children follow the fashion, and join the Establishment. The supply of Christian instruction given by the Dissenters which Dr. CHALMERS so unworthily sneered at, merely for its connection with poverty, is supplied by poor men, who are taxed into the bargain, to sup port the rich man's Church. But the circumstance which affords a complete re futation of Dr. CHALMERS'S inference from the pre sumed inadequacy of the free-trade principle, is the fact that there does exist a Church Establishment. He asserts there is no sustained demand for religious in struction, which will properly reward those who supply it ; and he refers to the mortgaged and struggling Dis senters' chapels, as a proof of his assertion. He might as well have said there is no demand for security at night, because the system of voluntary watchmen, still preserved in some places, is very poor and imperfect. Before a well-organized and well-discsplined police was established, each parish had its own body of watchmen, who did the duty very imperfectly. When the police was brought into use, the private and parochial watchmen were put down. The desire for security, like the desire for religicus instruction, was always strong, and men were as willing to pay largely for it as for food; but. they ceased in general to tax themselves to support private and parochial watchmen when Sir ROBERT PEEL established the Police force. Now, a State' Church is similar in this respect to the Metropolitan Police, and though the desire for religious instruction may not be less strong than the desire for security, I both of person and property, individuals decline pat ing money to bus' that which the State taxes them to I supply. In like manlier, wh e n the St a t e t axes men to support an Established Church, it cannot be expected that they should either have the will or the means to pay as largely for a voluntary Church as if no• State Church were in existence. The very fact of their being an Established Church, richly endowed amongst us, refutes therefore all the semblance of an argument which Dr. CHALMERS founded on the poverty of the Dissenting chapels against free trade in religion, and demonstrates that his sneers were as unjust as they were unchristian and uncharitable. Free trade, in fact, no more exists amongst us in religion than in corn ; and hi s argument against it, drawn from the proof of the poverty of the Dissenters, is like the railing of the writer in the Herald, who thunders daily against free trade, because the handloom . weavers are starving, while the landowners have got a close monopoly of the supply of bread. Having disposed of Dr. CHALMERS'S illustration, we shall, to-morrow, say a few words on his main principle. • ___ I It has been stated that in the event of Sir Jolty CAM HOBHOUSE being raised to the Peerage, Mr. EwART will stand for Nottingham, with the support of the Government. Mr. EWART was a most useful and independent Member for Parliament, and we should rejoice to see him returned for a place like Nottingham, where the political opinions of the electors are so much in unison with those he has always pro fessed and acted on ; but we doubt much whether the countenance of the Government would be any recom mendation to him in that quarter. The desertion of Sir JOHN HOBHOUSE on the question of the Ballot is still fresh in their memory, and his elevation to the peerage so soon afterwards would naturally lead them to connect the two events— nay, possibly to believe that the Government rewarded him, because he preferred the interests of his party to those of his constituents. They would, therefore, look with jealousy on a candidate brought forward under such patronage, and those are not the best friends of Mr. EWART who would place him in that light. Lord MELBOURNE, no doubt, is conscientious in his opposition to the Ballot ; he be lieves it would be injurious to the country, but the electors of Nottingham think otherwise, and knowing that their interests have been sacrificed once, and that a mark of favour, from whatever cause, has been con ferred on the individual who voted in oppositio n to their well-known wishes, they will be on their guard against a candidate exposed to similar temptation. Such a vote as that given by Sir J. HOBHOUSE injures not himself alone—it casts a doubt on others, howe ver honest and consistent in their opinions, and leads the public to believe that placemen consider a vote in support of the Government an atonement for the vio lation of any public principle. When a vacancy does occur, let Mr. EWART stand on his own merits, and he will not appeal to the electors of Nottingham in vain. We have so long felt convinced of the immense im provements adopted in the construction of the " Great Western" Railway, and of the need there had been for a closer investigation by persons of the highest scien tific ability, with the view to attain greater certainty and regularity of speed and reduction of the perma nent " wear and tear" in railways, that we feel great pleasure in giving insertion to an interesting letter in our columns this day. We agree with our candid correspondent that it THE seN, LONDON, MONDAY, APRIL 30, 1838. would be wiser honestly to acknowledge, what is now most manifest to all w ho have eyes and understandings, rather than wait for the universal acclaim of public opinion, which will assuredly follow the opening of the " Great Western" Railway. We are, indeed, con fident that the luxury, speed, safety, and regularity of travelling by this Line will be such, and its patronage so great, that its revenue, and the consequent value of the property will almost immediately exceed those of any other Line in the kingdom. Independently of the long travelling, for which we hear all the coach proprietors are making arrangements in concert with the Company, Windsor and Maiden head, by the Grem Western Railway, will, we are sure, be the lions of the season for parties of pleasure. The Brussels and German papers received this morning are filled with sad accounts of the coldness and lateness of the spring on tlae Continent. April wears the appears ance of February in Germany. The frost has greatly in jured the early fruit trees. We haw: no political news in these papers. BELGIAN I. UNDS—BRUSSELS, APRIL 28. Actual Debt 23a per Cent. Rothschild's Loan, 5 per Cent..........

The Paris Papers of Friday and Saturday, for lack of more interesting subjects, are fain to put up with discus sions about Railway speculations. There is in truth n o news stirring in the French capital at present. The ap pearance of a third party in the Basques is reported to have greatly alarmed the warmest partizans of the Pre tender. In a letter from Bayonne or the 0f.1,1 inst. the Champion of " Peace and Privileges," MUNAGORRI (the real name of this Chieftain), is reported to have received offers from several of the most influential Basque officers to serve under his banner. The papers before us contain a letter dated the I9th inst., addressed by MUNAGORRI to Don CARLOS, ordering his Royal Highness to quit for ever the Basque Provinces. We select a spirited extract from it : Your Royal Highness must easily feel it a duty to quit these pro vinces. You and your advisers have rendered them a desert; you have spread mourning over them, and heaped up dead bodies in them ; abandon them as promptly as possible. If you have friends in them, 12t them follow you. If you have rights to the Throne of Spain we shall not oppose them ; but know that it is a war of persons—know that we, Navarrese and Basques, we have never acknowledged any other Kings than our Fueros and privileges. You wish to reign! Go to the provinces that may aeknowledge you ; combat along with the men who may call you to the Throne; let their swords decide it between you and Isabella—between you and all other pretenders; but trust no longer in the efforts of the privileged provinces. Too much blood has been spilt to nourish the paraish plants with whom you have surrounded yourself. Renounce the hope of stiflinglihe cry of independence which my lips have uttered ; my voice is the voice of all my countrymen ; my wish is their will ; our valleys and mountains will re-echo our oaths. Quit the Savarrese soil ! Depart, my Lord ; we want a day to re pose—carry elsewhere your principles of destruction, but remember that divine justice strikes Princes as well as the humblest of men. The 31onitcur• has officially announced the appointment of Marshal SOULT as Ambassador Extraordinary at the coronation of Queen VicTontA. The following are ex tracts from the journals : The Bayonne journals have not arrived this morning, and we have no news of the issue of the action between the troops of Don Carlos, under the command of Iturbe, and the Independents•led by Munagorri, The letters from Bayonne say, that nobody had arrived from the fron tiers in consequence of the bad weather. A morning journal publishes the following letters, written from St. Jean de Luz, and dated 24th April :—" An engagement has taken place between the troops under Iturbe and the Independents of Munagorri, the latter lost eight men, but Muuagorri continues to act with firmness, and to raise volunteers.''—Commerce. Sr. PETERSBURGII, APRIL 14.---(Private Correspondence of the Con titutionncl.)—The Emperor's journey to Germany is not yet ofli ciaUy decided. Here nothing is thought of but the war in Circassia, The first appears to be unfavourable to the Russians, who find grounds for consolation in the checks sustained by Ibraham Pacha. General Butetteiff, the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople, has orders to urge the Porte to take arms against its faithless vassal, because advan ta3e would be taken of it ; and measures are taken to be prepared against all p::ssible events. General Leiders, commanding the corps in Bessarabia, has ord'ets to assemble his divisions in the Lower Pruth, and to prepare at Ismaelow al: the material for bridges. General Witt is to raise to their full compliment the squadron of cavalry in the military colonies. All these prepara'ions are under the pretext of reviews to takeplace in the summer, but let Europe be on its guard, these reviews might lead the Russian army to Constantinople. Count Michael Wouzoff, Governor of Little Russia, hns declined the Embassy to England on the Coronation of the Queen, on the pretext of ill-health, but in reality because he fears the embassy would cause him to lose his government. The mission has been atrered to Count Stroganoff, and because his age does not allow him to undertake the journey, this high post will he entrusted to Prince Dolgourouki. The troubles in the Grand Duchy of Posen have made a disagreeable impression on the Emperor. He fears an insurrection in Poland. It is said that Field-Marshal Prince Paskewitsch will go directly toVar: saw and take measures of precaution. In this case General Toll would go alone to Kichineff and Kil lia.—Constitutionnel.

PRECEDENTS IN CONVEYANCING. Richards, London, 1838. " The many important alterations," says the author of this well-digested book, Mr. Bone, of Lincoln's Inn, " in the law of real property effected by recent Statutes, more particularly those for the abolition of fines and recoveries, for the amendment of the law relating to dower, and for the amendment of the law with respect to wills, have ren dered a new series of Precedents in Conveyancing a matter of general request." Mr. Bone has here furnished us with this legal desideratunz, and has done so in the most concise and perspicuous manner. His great object being practic a l utility, he has endeavoured to make his book generally in telligible ; and with this end in view, he has forborne to encumber it with technical terms known only to the profes sion. To the great body of country solicitors his book will be eminently useful, for it is compressed into the smallest compass consistent with propriety, and fairly ex hausts all that is to be said on the subject.

Last week's arrivals were moderate of both Grain and Flour, and the trade manifested some disposition to improvement, as the weather conti nued cold and impeding to vegetation. This morning the fresh supply of all kinds of Corn has been small, and no change having taken place in the weather, the factors demanded higher prices for every article. The millers readily took off all the fine par cels of Wheat, at two shillings per quarter advance on last Monday's prices, and other qualities have obtained Is. per qr. more than last week. Barley is Is. per qr. dearer. Having few Beans and Pease for sale, they have met a free demand at an increase of Is. per qr. on last week's prices. There has been a fair trade for Oats to-day, which have obtained lull Is. per qr. more than on this day se'nnight. The flour trade is firm, and last quotations are well maintained.

SlR,—The formation of a Company at Liverpool, for introducing the Asphalte of Seyssel into Lancashire and the Northern Counties, renders it imperative on me to notice a report which has been most industriously circulated in that town, viz., that the Pont du Carrousel at Paris is paved with another mastic. Whether this report is the effect of ignorance, or raised with a view of deceiving the public, it is not for me to offer an opinion upon. That the bridge in question is paved with the Asphalte of Seyssel, and with no other, is a fact notorious to every scientific person in the French ca pital. The mastic upon this bridge, notwithstanding its oscillations are as great as those of the Hammersmith or Menai bridges, shows no indi cation whatever of wear or tear, though exposed to the extreme cold of winter, the heat of summer, and the constant passing of passengers, for nearly three years. The latter observations would also apply with equal force to all the works executed by the Seyssel Company, among which may be named the Place de la Concorde, or Louis XV's, the Rue de RI. roll, the Pont Royal, the Covalry Barracks on Quai d'Orsay, &c. If no specimens in our own country existed of what might be pro duced from coal tar, sand, and other c ombinations, we have only to proceed to Paris, and examine the Boulevards, (excepting the Boule vards des Italiens, which is also paved with the Seyssel mastic) which show the innumerable reparationsrendeirnrednecessary b winter, and t he mate y therials late upon the public. folly of attempting to pose such for patents in England for pretended Asphalte discoveries applications have been no less than five C ompany SeYsse p l u ' publicly announces an intention of making carriage roads on precisely the same prin bceeenthere j i n n e t t r ed od , u n c n ti d on m o n f re th t e ha A n sp e h n a e lteof the infringementciplessanction of my patent.

The same description applies to the Liverpool and and Wakefield Markets of yesterday. At this morning's market Wheat, of which there is but little offering, brings an advance of 2d. per bushel.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY (THIS DAY", TWELVE O'CLOCK. Owing to the prevailing north-easterly winds we have very few arrivals this morning; but as the wind has shifted to south-west, we may expect the arrival of the New York packet, of the Bth inst., to-morrow or next day. Accounts from St. Petersburgh in the French Papers state, of the date of the 14th of April, that the journey of the Emperor of Russia to Germany is not officially decided upon. General Lieders, Commander of the Corps of Bessarabia, had received orders to unite his divisions on the Lower Pruth, and to prepare at Ismailow all the materials. The troubles of the Duchy of Posen have made a great impression on the Emperor. He is fearful of an insurrection breaking out in Poland and it is stated that Field-Marshal Paskewitch will immediately proceed to Warsaw, to adopt measures of security. The French fr;gate Nereide has arrived at Brest, from Port-au- Prince. It has brought the necessary funds for the payment of the first annuity stipulated by the treaty of the 12th of February last. The accounts in the French papers respecting the operations of Mu nagorrie in the Basque provinces are very contradictory, and until further information is received, no reliance can be placed in them. The Grasshopper above the Cupola at the Royal Exchange is being taken down this morning. The scaffolding erected to reach it is of great ingenuity.

Younge and Smith entered their warehouse at White-rails, Sheffield, they discovered the upper part of the door of the iron cupboard on the other side of the room opened, and that it had been robbed of eighty pounds in cash. The extraordinary circumstances attending this burglary are, that all the doors were locked and bolted before the place was left for the previous night—the chimney had a bar across it which was not removed, therefore the thieves could not have entered the premises by that means, and the bars were up at the windows. On examining the safe it was discovered that the iron door had been blown away by placing gunpowder in the key-hole, and putting a long train to it. It is supposed that the noise of the adjoining mill prevented the explosion I being heard.—Sheffield Iris. On Saturday morning, between five and six o'clock, a dairyman named Joseph Hughes, residing in the Hamp stead-road, on going to milk his cows in an adjoining field, was gored in a shocking manner by a cow,. which had recently calved. Some labourers hastened and rescued the unfortunate sufferer, but not before he was injured in such a dreadful manner that his life is despaired of. On the Forest-hill contract of the Croydon Rail way, which but a few weeks since scarcely exhibited symptoms of such a work, the exertions of 800 men on a line of a mile and a few chains has almost incredibly converted that portion of the line into a complete railway.

ELECTION COMMITTEES. (THIS DAY.) YARMOUTH. At the assembling of the Committee, the Counsel for the petitioners announced that they had thought right to: abandon their opposition to the return of the sitting Members, who, therefore, of course, retain their seats. CHANCERY COURT-(THIS DAY.) The Lord Chancellor did not sit in his Court at Westminster to.day. VICE-CHANCERY -(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT.-REED V. DAILLIE. The VICE-CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this case, which was argued before the Court a short time since. The bill was filed by the plaintiff in the character of a specially creditor of a person of the name of Henry Candler Brown, and in his Honour's opinion the plaintiff could not sustain his bill unless he made out that fact. The circum stances under which the bill was filed, and out of which it was allegtd the debt arose, were rather singular ;—A person of the name of Ed ward Candler Brown, who resided in Ireland, but having estates in Norfolk, employed a gentleman of the name of Wilkie, a solicitor at Taddaster, to raise a sum of 4,0001. There was a young man named James Dennis, who would come of age in April, 1817, when he would ba entitled to certain sums in the funds, and it was thought that he might be induced to advance the amount required. Application was made to him in 1816, when it was proposed, if he would make the necessary advances to Mr. Edward Gandler Brown, that security should be given him for that amount on certain farms in Norfolk, of which Mr. William Dennis, his uncle, was the tenant under Mr. Edward Candler Brown. From what took place at that time, deeds of lease and release were afterwards prepared, leaving blanks for the amount, which deeds were executed by Edward Candler Brown, On James Dennis attaining his age of 21, he peremptorily refused to advance the money to Edward Candler Brown, but had no objection to lend it to his uncle upon the security of his bond. Accordingly in May, 1817, the sum of 2,0001. was advanced by James Dennis to his uncle, whe, according to the evidence on behalf of the plaintiff, handed it over to a Mr. Henry Candler, for Mr. Edward Candler Brown and Henry Candler, in 1817, executed the bond on which the suit was founded to Mr. Wm. Dennis for the amount advanced. Mr. Henry Candler, to whom it was alleged the maney had been paid (after the death of E. C. Brown), became involved in his circumstances, and while in prison, acknowledged the receipt of the money, at the same time stating that he had not applied it to the purposes of Mr. Edward Chandler Brown; subsequently, however, he denied receiving the money at all, and upon that point the evidence in the cause was conflicting. The plaintiff, who was the representative of Mr. William Dennis, asserted positively that the money had been advanced, and filed the present Bill claiming the amount from the estate of Edward Candler Brown. His Honour, considering the evidence on both sides so contradictory as to render it impossible for the Court to know what the real facts were, thought the best course to adopt would be for Mr. Reed to bring an action upon the bond against Mr. Baillie, imposing it as a term upon Mr. Reed, that he should give evidence of the consideration for the bond. TWITORD V. TAAILL. The arguments in this case, which were part.heard on Saturday, were resumed to.day, but had not concluded when our Reporter lett. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) THE QUEEN V. MURPHY ♦ND OTHERS. At the sittings of the Court this morning, Mr. Justice LITTLEnALa ob_ served, that in this case, which had been mentioned a few days ago, and which was an indictment for a conspiracy, the application must come be fore the Court in the shape of a motion. THE QUEEN V. THOMAS. In this case, a rule for an information in the nature of a quo war. ranto had been obtained by the Attorney-Gcneral, calling upon the de fendant Josiah Thomas, to slim by what authority he exercised the office of town clerk, and clerk of the peace for the Borough of Tewkesbury. Sir Wm. FOLLETT now appeared to shew cause against the rule. The application had been made on the affidavit of a person named Sandi lands, who had in the first instance filled the office of town clerk, but from which he had been removed two days afterwards by the vote of the Town Council of the Borough.. By the 58th sec. of the new Municipal Act, the Corporation had the power of appointing a town clerk, and who was removeable at their pleasure; and by the 102c1 sec. the appointment of the clerk of the peace was vested in the Justices, and the situation was to he held " during good behaviour." Now, it ap. peared that both Sandilands and Thomas belonged to what was called the liberal party, and that some friends of the former had induced him to resign the office of town clerk, to prevent a division of interests in the borough, and after he had been dismissed the office he repented, and now applied to have himself reinstated, because another situation, which had been promised him for his son, had not been confirmed. Taking all the circumstances into account, the Learned Counsel contended that the rule must be discharged. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Mr. RICHARDS were heard in support of the rule, and The COURT decided that the rule for the quo toarrunto, must be discharged. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. ST. PANCRAS CHURCH TRUSTEES. The ATTORNMY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a man damus should not be issued against the St. Pancras Church trustees to lay their accounts before the Board of parochial auditors. It had been twice decided that under Sir John Hobhouse's Act these accounts ought to be laid before the parochial auditors. These trustees had been called upon to produce the accounts for the half year ending 25th March last, but they had refused to do so. Mr. Justice WlLLisms—They have stolen a march upon you; they have taken their accounts to the Sessions. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—They have, my Lord, to avoid this mo tion. We seek, however, to have these accounts exhibited to us, and then we may contend that the auditing of the Sessions was of no avail. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS—Take a rule. QUEEN V. NESTLAKE. Mr. \VlLuaus appeared on the part of defendant, an attorney, to u rule calling on him to answer a charge of having filled up a writ without the authority of the Court. This the defendant admitted, and in his affidavit alleged that it was merely done in joke, and that the person on whom the false writ hal beers served had been informed of this the day after. Mr. JLRDINC for the Law Society, at whose instance the writ had been issued, said the Society had felt it their duty to bring the matter forward ; but they did not wish to press the case against the defendant, and would leave the case in the hands of the Court. Mr. Justice WlLLtams said the Society had acted most properly. The defendant's joke was a very good one, and he must pay for it by bearing the costs, EXCHEQUER COURT (THIS DAY.) M‘KINNELL V. ROBINSON.) This case came before the Court upon demurrer of the defendant's plea. The action was brought to recover the sum of 301. lent. The defendant pleaded that the money had been lent for the purpose of play. ing the illegal game of Hazard. Mr. CittimeToN appeared to support the demurrer, and contended the plaintiff had a clear right to recover, because the money was lent upon a mere parole contract, and the cases in the books, amongst which were Barshaw v. Warmslay, and Robinson v. Bland. shoK•ed that the Gaming Acts, the 16th Charles 11., and 9th Anne app:ied to and made void only written contracts. Mr. WicurrsisN appeared in support of the plea, and contended that the present case was different from those in the books, because the money here was lent not only in a common gambling house, but it was for the specific purpose of playing at hazard, which by the 9th Geo. 11. was a prohibited game, and a penalty of 501* was imposed upon all who played at it. It was impossible to prove the plaintiff's case without showing an illegal Act. Mr. CRUNIPTOS replied. The Loan CHIEF BAftos said it seemed to him very inconsistent that a party should be precluded from his action upon a bill of exchange for a gaming debt, and yet be able to recover upon the parole contract. As they were conflicting cases the Court would consider the case. Judgment deferred. LLOYD'S SHIPPIN - 6.-(TRIS DAY.)

LONDON COFFEE HOUSE.—(THIS A meeting of several highly respectable and influonvall gentlemen, connected with the different branches of tvad* and manufacture, was held at the above place this morning, when it was resolved that a public m ectml should be held for the purpose of considering what step g should be taken to prevent any diminution of the ac.-, customed splendour of the Coronation of the Sovereigns England, and that a deputatiOn should wait on Mr. Ahl Copeland, M.P. to request him to take the chair. WESLEYAN MISSIONARY SOCIET (THIS DAY.) The anniversary meeting of this Society took place to-day in the large room, Exeter Hall. J. HAunv, Esq. (late M.P. for Bradford), was, in the absence of J. P' Plumptre, Esq., M.P. (who was announced as Chairman), was unan'" mously called to the Chair.

Dr. BUNTING (Honorary Secretary) read the repce ,t, extended to a great leugth. It appeared that in Ireland the •"Ilt! have twenty-four missionaries, there are also 2,100 children in th.e "a' schools, and 2,670 in the Sunday schools in that country. In Fra n ke there are fourteen missionaries. In various other parts of continent the Society's operations were greatly extended., ill' India, New South Wales, New Zealand, the South Sea Is laiwoci in Canada, in Africa, and in the West Indies, the Society had been very successful. The total number of children in the bliss i°9 Schools, amounted to upwards of 49,000—being an increase of more. lo9 2,000, during the past year. The reading of the report occupied an hour and a half. From an abstract of the account, it appeared that the Soel in the past year, had received 83,648/. 10s. 6d.—(Loud aplphw is , e —of which Ireland contributed, 3,795/. ; and Upper Cana° 1,099/. The regular income, however, of the Society arneunt,'6 to 73,0001. an increase of more than 6,000/. over the inc °° , e of 1837. But the expenditure of the past year had ex ceeded considerably the regular income. E. BAINES, Esq., M.P., moved the adoption of the Report ; w hich was seconded by The Rev. J. Psesows, of York, in a most eloquent sP e- e c „ In respect to the subject of slavery, the Rev. Gentleman exhorted t"" meeting to determine on the entire abolition of that abominable gr tern—not its mitigation, but its destruction—not its softening, b ut its complete removal.—(Loud cheers.) Then, and not till then, Iv"' the loveliest islands of the ocean become what they were n aturally in tended for—the Eden bowers of the earth, and resound to the song of happiness and of freedom.—(Continued cheers.) Lord Smolt supported the motion. As a devoted son of the Es" - biishment, yet, feeling a deep interest in the subject of missions, an d ' l. deep sense of the exertions of this Society, he came forward to cong" tulate a sister religious communion on the success of their missi onary operations.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord said he would give his utn7o,4 support to a motion, notice of which had already been given in the 11°.i t.e , of Commons, for the abolition of that countenance afforded try the 9.
